OOAK Show Roundup - Thank You!

The One of a Kind Show was awesome. Thanks to all of you who came out to visit the booth and support Biko. I'm so lucky to have you guys on my side!

Here are some last photos of the final booth design and the campaign presentation in the centre aisle. I also did some jewellery-making demos throughout the show, which went well but were pretty funny as I had to sit right in front of a larger-than-life poster of my face.... a little awkward nonetheless.

Biko in the Press: March 2011

With the new site launch and the One of a Kind Show, we've been bad at keeping you updated on our latest press features.  For what hasn't already been featured on the blog, see below:

Behind The Scenes: The Making of the Booth

These past two days have been spent putting together the Biko booth at the Spring One of a Kind Show in Toronto.  Here you'll see the set-up process in a series of photos, taken by my shady cell phone camera. Nonetheless, you'll get an idea of the blank white slate we're given, and the amount of props and details that are necessary to make our own little temporary boutique!

The Show opens tomorrow (Wed. Mar 30th) and runs until Sunday (Apr 3rd).  Come visit Biko at BOOTH J-12! I'll also be doing jewellery-making demos in the centre aisle on Wednesday evening from 8 - 9pm, and on Saturday from 6 - 7pm.

*More final booth photos (with proper show lighting) to come soon...

Our Sex and the City Moment

We can't forget the opening credits of the show, where Carrie sees her ad on a passing bus. Well folks, Biko's time has come too!  The lovely One of a Kind Show team chose a few designers/artisans and their work to highlight for their campaign this Spring 2011.  They visited the Biko studio a couple of months back for a photoshoot of myself and my work process, and the results can be seen everywhere!  On buses, streetcars, in magazines and newspapers. I'm very excited to be a part of this campaign, and the show (on from Mar 30 - Apr 3) is going to be great!  Come visit me at booth J-12.

Thanks to Lee-Ann Woon for this photo.
